Speak to your GP and ask if there's an exercise referral scheme in your area that caters for people with osteoporosis.

People at high risk of fracture

If you're at high risk of having a fracture or have broken bones already, staying active will help reduce your risk of falls and fractures, improve balance, strength and stamina, and reduce pain.

You may be fearful of falling, but if you stop moving, you'll slowly lose strength and balance, which will make you more prone to falls and fracture.

Avoid high-impact exercises that involve jumping and running, and activities that involve bending forwards and twisting at the waist, such as touching your toes, sit-ups, golf, tennis, bowling, and some yoga poses.
